BRENDAN'S WALK

Salvation Army Major, Brendan Nottle, has embarked on an epic journey of more than 700 kilometres, walking from Melbourne to Canberra in an effort to put homelessness on the political agenda.

Walk The Walk For The Homeless will take 40 days and commenced from The Salvation Army's Project 614 on Bourke Street on Friday September 8th.  The walk will conclude at Parliament House in Canberra on Monday October 16th.

Visiting communities along the way, Brendan is hearing first-hand about the challenges these communities face as they tackle the complex issues contributing to homelessness.

On his arrival in Canberra, Brendan intends to meet with key federal representatives and will be calling for the Government to establish a national nonpartisan strategy to end homelessness in Australia.

A public petition has been established calling on everyday Australians to sign their name in support of a national strategy to address the causes of homelessness.

The Salvos hope to secure 105,237 signatures on the petition - one for every Australian who will be homeless tonight.
